Abstract:

In this paper the characteristics of unsteady three-dimensional incompressible flows with heat transfer are obtained along with artificial compressibility of Chorin. At first, compatibility equations and pseudo characteristics for three-dimensional flows are derived from five governing equations (continuity equation, Momentum equations in three directions, and energy equation) and then results are simplified to two dimensional flows. Pseudo Mach hyper-cone (four dimensional cone) are found and its cross-section with physical axis is calculated numerically. Unlike compressible flow, this is not a sphere. It is found that the pseudo acoustic speed within the incompressible flow is function of artificial compressibility parameter and the directions. In two dimensional, Pseudo Mach cone is obtained by numerical solution of characteristic equations. Unlike compressible flow, the cross section of Mach cone with x-y plane is not circle. This shape is not oval, too. The influence of artificial compressibility parameter on convergence history and accuracy was surveyed by simulation of cavity flow as a benchmark

Stability of Two-Dimensional Viscous Incompressible Flows under Three-Dimensional Perturbations and Inviscid Symmetry Breaking

In this article we consider weak solutions of the three-dimensional incompressible fluid flow equations with initial data admitting a one-dimensional symmetry group. We examine both the viscous and inviscid cases. For the case of viscous flows, we prove that Leray-Hopf weak solutions of the threedimensional Navier-Stokes equations preserve initially imposed symmetry and that such symmetric flow...

In this study, inelastic constitutive modelling is considered for the simulation of shear-thinning fluids through a circular channel. Numerical solutions are presented for power-law inelastic model, considering axisymmetric Poiseuille flow through a channel. The numerical simulation of such fluid is performed by using the Galerkin finite element approach based on artificial compression method (...

Formulation of a Galerkin spectral element–Fourier method for three-dimensional incompressible flows in cylindrical geometries

A primitive-variable formulation for simulation of time-dependent incompressible flows in cylindrical coordinates is developed. Spectral elements are used to discretise the meridional semi-plane, coupled with Fourier expansions in azimuth. Unlike previous formulations where special distributions of nodal points have been used in the radial direction, the current work adopts standard Gauss–Lobat...
